FULL-TIME - Basingstoke Town 2 Eastbourne Borough 2
I'm sure there are mixed emotions in the Town dressing room right now. They did really well to grab that late equaliser but will also be disappointed with the defending that put them in that position.
It could be a turning point though, showing good spirit to break the losing streak.
See Thursday's Gazette for a full report and all of the reaction.
9:37pm
GOAL - Basingstoke Town 2 Eastbourne Borough 2 - Stefan Brown (90+6 min)
Wow! It looked all over but Town throw the ball forward one last time, it is flicked on and STEFAN BROWN outpaces his man before coolly slotting under the 'keeper to level the scores.
9:35pm
Town work the ball to Stuart Lake in the area but he is offside and scuffs his effort straight at the goalkeeper.
9:32pm
Town will have five minutes of injury-time to salvage something.
9:32pm
SUBSTITUTION - Basingstoke Town - Stefan Brown on for Jordace Holder-Spooner
9:30pm
Matt Warner lets fly with a free-kick from distance but it's straight at Joseph Day.
9:28pm
GOAL - Basingstoke Town 1 Eastbourne Borough 2 - Ollie Rowe (83 min)
Oh dear. That's more terrible defending from Town, who allow Frankie Raymond's free-kick to reach an unmarked OLLIE ROWE, and he guides the ball beyond Ashley Bayes.
9:26pm
Eastbourne were close to going in front there. A corner caused problems and Ashley Bayes was forced to tip the ball over as it looped towards goal.
9:23pm
That's a half-chance for Delano Sam-Yorke, who turns well in the box but scuffs his effort straight at the 'keeper.
9:22pm
SUBSTITUTION - Basingstoke Town - Callum McNish on for Shaun McAuley
9:21pm
Tim Sills flicks the ball on for Jordace Holder-Spooner - but he blasts wastefully off-target from an impossible angle with Delano Sam-Yorke waiting for a pull-back.
9:20pm
Jordace Holder-Spooner almost puts Shaun McAuley away with an outrageous pass - but the Eastbourne 'keeper is out quickly to clear.
9:15pm
Shaun McAuley lets fly from distance but it's straight at Joseph Day.
9:12pm
YELLOW CARD - Basingstoke Town - Jay Gasson
Gasson brings down Simon Johnson on the right and is shown a yellow card. Town are on the ropes a bit here.
9:09pm
GOAL - Basingstoke Town 1 Eastbourne Borough 1 - Ellis Remy (67 min)
A corner comes in from the left and ELLIS REMY gets enough on the ball to force it home at the far post. A scrappy goal and another test of character for the hosts.
9:08pm
That was a close shave for the hosts. Matt Warner's poor header led to a chance for sub Ellis Remy and Town only just smuggle clear.
9:07pm
Ben Adelsbury shoots from range but it's straight at Ashley Bayes.
9:05pm
Shaun McAuley gets the ball in space 20 yards out but his low shot is always going wide.
9:01pm
Town work an opportunity on the left side of the area but Jordace Holder-Spooner's cross is massively overhit.
8:59pm
Eastbourne are having a good spell but the Town defence is standing up to it. Ben Adelsbury has a go at goal on the volley from the edge of the area but it's weak and straight down the throat of Ashley Bayes.
8:57pm
SUBSTITUTION - Eastbourne Borough - Marvin Hamilton on for David Knight
8:52pm
Scratch that. He seems to have made some sort of miraculous recovery and is back on. Referee took his time waving him back on mind.
8:50pm
Robert Rice is down and it looks like he is going to have to come off.
8:47pm
KICK-OFF - Town get the second half under way.
8:46pm
SUBSTITUTION - Eastbourne Borough - Ellis Remy on for Ben Adams.
8:34pm
HALF-TIME - Basingstoke Town 1 Eastbourne Borough 0
A good first half performance from Town, who seem to have carried on from where they left off on Saturday.
It's been scrappy at times but the hosts have looked far more likely scorers, while the defending hasn't been bad either.
8:33pm
That's good play down the Town right by Shaun McAuley and Jordace Holder-Spooner, whose low cross is just smuggled wide by a defender before it can reach Delano Sam-Yorke.
A couple of corners later and a flicked header from a Town player has to be nodded away from the danger zone by a visiting defender.
8:30pm
Eastbourne's Ben Adams is given time and space to shoot from just outside the area - but it's a poor effort badly wide.
8:29pm
That's a lovely pass by Shaun McAuley to put Delano Sam-Yorke through. He holds off a defender before toe-poking the ball towards the far corner - but it floats wide.
8:27pm
Tim Sills seems to be pulled back as he attacks Robert Rice's cross but he stays on his feet and gets his header on target. It's just too close to Joseph Day in the Eastbourne goal.
8:24pm
Ashley Bayes does just enough to take Frankie Raymond's cross away from David Knight.
8:20pm
Stuart Lake's poor header gives away a corner. It's a decent ball in but an Eastbourne player can only head over under pressure.
8:17pm
GOAL - Basingstoke Town 1 Eastbourne Borough 0 - Delano Sam-Yorke (31 min)
That's a nice goal. Robert Rice feeds the ball to Jordace Holder-Spooner down the right. He turns his man brilliantly before putting in an early cross that DELANO SAM-YORKE just beats the goalkeeper to, flicking it into the net from 10 yards out.
8:15pm
A decent passing move leads to Tim Sills letting fly on the volley from the edge of the area - but it's well wide.
Frankie Raymond, who had that last shot for Eastbourne, spent time on loan at Town from Reading a couple of years ago. He scored the winner against Eastleigh on his Eastbourne debut on Saturday.
8:11pm
Stuart Lake gives the ball away in midfield, allowing David Knight to tee Frankie Raymond up for an effort from distance. This time it's well wide.
8:05pm
Wes Daly's cross from the left following a scrappy phase of play finds Douglas Bergqvist, but he is unable to direct his header on target.
8:02pm
Jay Gasson finds Delano Sam-Yorke in the right channel. He beats his man for pace before firing in a cross that Tim Sills is unable to get anything on at the near post.
It's been a good start from the hosts.
8:00pm
Eastbourne's Simon Johnson blasts an effort in from distance. It's over, but they're getting closer.
7:59pm
Wes Daly slips as he takes a free-kick and his mis-hit forces Joseph Day to save. It was comfortable for the Eastbourne 'keeper though.
7:58pm
Town break promisingly down the left, through first Jordace Holder-Spooner and then the overlapping Matt Warner. Sadly, Warner's low ball in is cut out at the near post, with both Tim Sills and Delano Sam-Yorke waiting at the back stick.
7:56pm
Some good work by Jordace Holder-Spooner wins Town the first corner of the match, but nothing comes of it.
The home fans are in good voice tonight.
7:54pm
The sides have been feeling each other out so far but that's the first effort on goal, Eastbourne's Ben Adelsbury blasting way over from distance.
7:49pm
KICK-OFF - Eastbourne get the game under way. They are shooting towards the Town End of the ground in the first half.
7:43pm
The players emerge from the dressing rooms on a chilly night at the Camrose.
